The Washington Post is reporting China provided Pakistan with enough weapons-grade uranium for two atomic bombs in 1982. Written accounts by the Pakistani nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan say the Chinese government also provided a blueprint that helped speed up Pakistan’s nuclear weapons program. The cooperation is said to have resulted from a secret 1976 agreement between the two countries. In a statement, the Pakistani foreign ministry denied the report, calling it “baseless.”
